A slew of new iPhones arrived in September 2025, and if you’re scouting out ways to buy the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, or either of the iPhone 17 Pro models, we have your back. Whether it’s directly from Apple, from your go-to retailer, or your carrier, there are loads of options to get yourself a new phone.
You don’t have to buy the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, or Pro Max, or the iPhone Air, directly from Apple, all the major carriers will offer you one on contract. One of the benefits of not buying from Apple is that you can take advantage of special promotions and deals offered by popular retailers and carriers. And, if you are shopping from the U.K., resellers, including Amazon, will sell you an unlocked iPhone at a good discount.
If you aren’t sure which new iPhone to buy, we compare every iPhone in a separate article. You can also find deals on other iPhones here: Best iPhone Deals.

The iPhone Air, while technically not part of the iPhone 17 family, is Apple’s thinnest phone ever.
